The rhumba music scene is this week mourning the death of top Congolese dancing styles innovator Radja Kula Mbuta who died on Tuesday at a Nairobi hospital. This earned him the stage name “King of 6,600 dancing styles” amongst his fans in DR Congo. In Nairobi, Radja made his debut with shows at the then popular Makuti Park Club in Nairobi South B back in 1997. Other Nairobi based Congolese rhumba groups like Rhumba Japan Band also followed in the footsteps of Radja Kula’s band. ***Bana Mazembe online showThe Bana Mazembe band, an offshoot of the legendary Super Mazembe band, will tomorrow (August 23) host a select online show via Facebook live.
